My display has VGA and DVI-D (Dual Link) connections. My PC has a DVI-I (Dual Link) connection with a VGA adapter. I am currently using the display with a VGA cable.

How can I set my display resolution to 1280 x 720 in Lubuntu 18.04? I would like this to occur automatically before I log in however it would be acceptable if it occurred automatically immediately after logging in.

Re: Display Resolution Problem

Try another, known good, VGA cable. Cables fail and some that are cheaper fail to have one wire in them that reports the monitor's info to the graphics card. Windows will ignore this, but Linux will not.

Yes the output from lshw -C video would be interesting.
